Amboseli National Park One Day Highlights

Amboseli is famous for the views of Mt Kilimanjaro that you get from this park. The park is so close to Kilimanjaro and located on the leeward side which has less tree cover and is a gentle slope upwards which offers uninterrupted views of the peaks Kibo and Mawenzi. Viewing of the mountain peaks is one of the biggest attractions to this park since Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa standing at 5895m asl.

Amboseli is a dusty savannah grassland park which is actually a dry patch of earth with some grassland plains. The park however has some huge permanent water ponds and swamps which are fed from fresh water that comes from Kilimanjaro ice caps that melt and emerge in the park. Amboseli, despite being a very dry and patched place also has an all year round supply of millions of gallons of water and a thriving ever green water grass around the swamps. Wildlife actually migrates into Amboseli during the dry season for breeding between January and April.

Lake Amboseli is a dry Pleistocene era lake bed that is dry lake bed that only gets flooded in the wet season. The dry lake bed produces water mirage that trick animals to follow the mirages in search of water. The park also has the observation hill which is a great place to climb and watch the park from the top and you can see the hundreds of hippos below and the elephants.

Amboseli swamps are some of the exciting places to watch the wildlife as they wallow in the waters or feed on the green grass. There s so much life around the swamps that you can barely imagine the contrast with the rest of the park which dry and patched savannah grassland with hundreds of dust devils swirling around.
